In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!

Chapter 89: Chapter 89 Meeting is Fate_1

Upon hearing Doctor Hu’s words, Inspector Liu sized up Su Pan’er from head to toe.

With an arrogant look, he threw his head back and opened his fan with a loud snap, fanning himself a few times, his face sinking. "You, yes, you! That dark and fat ugly woman, give me your name," he demanded.

A deep worry flashed in Qin Yi’s eyes.

This official with such bearing who came along with Old Uncle Hu, things were not boding well for Pan’er!

However, he would never let any harm come to Pan’er right before his eyes!

Su Pan’er was taken aback!

They were just having a conversation, why had it suddenly shifted to her?

"Indeed, nobles often forget! That old dog just mentioned my name a moment ago and now you’re pretending not to remember and are knowingly asking for it again, what exactly are you implying?"

Su Pan’er shook her head repeatedly, "I am who I am, my name is Su Pan’er. Now, this rather white and fat lord, who might you be?"

This person was so familiar with Su Yue’er, calling Uncle Liew in such an intimate manner; he was likely another one of Su Sikong’s fox friends and dog friends.

"How impertinent! Who allowed you to speak to Lord Liew in such a manner?"

OId Uncle Hu on the side was acting arrogant and complacent-looking, "This is Lord Liew, our inspector of Yongze County Town, not someone a rustic woman can disrespect! If you continue to talk nonsense, you will be beaten to death immediately!"

A cruel glint shone in his eyes.

My, oh my! This old thing is increasingly seeking his own death!

Su Pan’er was just about to step forward when Qin Yi beat her to it.

"Old Uncle Hu, who exactly are you trying to scare? Our Pan’er conducts herself properly; she has no reason to be afraid of no ghost knocking at midnight."

Qin Yi stepped in front of Su Pan’er, directly shielding her. He stated, word for word, "The county government office is a place of justice; officials naturally serve the people. Thus, this honorable official wouldn’t possibly kill innocents indiscriminately, right?"

He then turned his head to face Inspector Liu and bowed politely without being overly humble or presumptuous, he asked composedly, "Wouldn’t you agree, my lord?"

Su Pan’er’s eyes were now completely focused on Qin Yi.

Once again, she hid behind a man, allowing the man to shield her from the storm. For Su Pan’er, who was accustomed to independence and self-reliance, this was a completely new experience.

She watched the man’s profile, rough and sculpted as though by a master artist, cold yet elegant, determined and persistent. His pitch-black, soft, and long hair was tied up with a blue band, his frail body squaring rigid and upright like a proud pine tree standing against the wind.

Her eyes couldn’t conceal a hint of admiration!

The crowd around them was slightly agitated, and low murmurs could be heard.

Among the crowd, a young man dressed like an ordinary farmer wearing a straw hat that covered most of his face. Hearing the words, he lifted his head, couldn’t help taking a long look at Qin Yi, then tipped his hat down and nodded slightly.

It was unexpected that in this countryside, there would exist such insightful and spirited scholars, so rare indeed!

Inspector Liu was taken aback. He simply asked a question, and not only did that woman show him no respect, but also this young man was so sharp-tongued. Who gave them such audacity?

This was absolutely preposterous!

"Who are you? Knowing I’m an official, why don’t you kneel when you see me? These rural women may lack manners, aren’t you supposed to know these basic rules?"

Qin Yi remained calm, saluting politely.

"In response to Inspector Liu, I am Qin Yi, the scholar from Luoyan Village! I passed the imperial examination with flying colors in the 23rd year of Great Zhou’s Jianyuan era. According to the law of this dynasty, scholars like me don’t have to kneel when meeting officials. Surely, you are not unaware of such a rule, right?"

"Scholar Qin Yi? Oh! So, you’re Qin Yi!"

No wonder he looked familiar, Inspector Liu had an expression of sudden realization!

He looked back at his niece Su, who was standing next to him.

He had already heard of this Qin Yi, wasn’t he his niece’s former fiance? He had long known about the Su Family breaking off the engagement.

He gave Qin Yi a careful once-over, the Inspector Liu’s gaze flickering.

This scholar, he indeed looked promising. He did not look like a short-lived ghost, as Uncle Su Sikong had said. Perhaps he would achieve something in the future...

Seeing Inspector Liu remaining silent, Su Yue’er wanted to speak up several times, but she didn’t know what to say and could only fret on the sidelines.

The Old Uncle Hu was also as anxious as an ant on a hot pot!

He hadn’t found the letter he had lost, and his adoptive son was already furious. When leaving the house, he was told repeatedly that if he did not retrieve the letter...

Finally, Deputy County Magistrate Su had sent Inspector Liu for this favor. If he couldn’t accomplish this...

With this thought, he couldn’t help shuddering!

He quickly reached out, gently tugging at Inspector Liu’s sleeve: "Lord Liew, you wouldn’t have forgotten the instructions given by Lord Su before departure? Now this... you can..."

"Impudent! The affairs of this official are none of your business, you crude rural doctor!"

He grunted and shook off Old Uncle Hu’s hand, "It’s just a lost banknote of one hundred taels! The evidence hasn’t been found yet, why are you in such a hurry! I have my own discretion in handling matters."

This old dog, relying on his slight relationship with Su Sikong, actually dared to dictate my actions. What nonsense!

Thinking of Deputy County Magistrate Su’s instructions before coming here and looking at the energetic Qin Yi, he felt uncomfortable in his mind.

Looking at this couple, the man was dressed in worn-out straight robes, the woman was wearing a patched and worn-out hemp cloth garment, they did not look like the type who would steal a hundred taels of silver. Moreover, they were both young and had academic titles. Most scholars dream of acing the exams in one try, naturally they value their reputation more than their lives. How could they resort to stealing?

Thinking of this, he felt a headache coming on. This matter is difficult to handle now!

Su Pan’er was listening intently!

A banknote of one hundred taels? Was the object that Old Uncle Hu truly wanted to find was that letter?

Old Uncle Hu was startled, he quickly leaned in to Inspector Liu, "Lord Liew, it really was Lord Su’s order before I left. I dare not disobey!"

Using Su Sikong to pressure him again? Seeing that Old Uncle Hu had an urgent look on his face, Inspector Liu sniffed coldly and waved his large sleeve.

"Understood!"

When he turned to face Qin Yi, his face was again filled with smiles. He politely said, "Brother Qin, it is fate that brought us together. This bustling street is not a place for a chat. Why don’t we step inside somewhere and talk?"

’Brother Qin’? ’Dad’?

There was a slight twitch at the corner of Su Pan’er’s mouth. This Inspector Liu was fucking funny!

However, she understood that nowadays it was popular among officials to address each other as brothers. With Qin Yi having a title, it was no wonder that this Inspector Liu would call him ’Brother Qin’.

Even Qin Yi could not figure out why Inspector Liu’s attitude changed so quickly!

He turned back and saw Pan’er frown slightly. He knew what she meant. He turned back to Inspector Liu and bowed, a smile on his face!

"In that case, I’ll have to trouble Brother Liu to lead the way!"

"We don’t have to go far, let’s just step in this textile shop."

Having gotten Qin Yi’s affirmation, Inspector Liu was in a good mood and laughed heartily. He turned back and invited Su Pan’er with a smile, "This is Brother Qin’s sister, right? Why don’t you come in too? Please enter!"

Invite her too? Su Pan’er raised an eyebrow!

However, she was not afraid at all. She walked straight through the crowd, under the envious gazes of everyone, she walked briskly into the textile shop.
